Besties

My daughter on the left, her bestie on the right, 

and her bestie's daughter in the middle

These two girls have been best friends since the age of 5 years old.  What began as a friendship between two, has turned into a friendship between three.  I am so proud of the women and mother these two young ladies have become. Real friendships last a life time.  Keep your friends close and cherish each and every one of them.  I am 51 years old and have already lost two of my closest best friends.  I think of them everyday.  Life is short.  Take nothing for granted. Besties are the best!!

Blessings always

Grandma #2 grabbing her hug

The whole welcoming home crew!

These are our kiddos, our pride and joy!

She's finally home!  After being in Afghanistan for a year, she is finally home!  I can say that there is no part of being a parent that is easy, but I think not being able to physically see one of your children for a long amount of time is one of the hardest challenges of parenthood.  I think we got to actually Skype two times during her deployment.  So to say the least, when we saw this precious face for the first time in a year, there was a whole lot of praise going up to our Lord!!  Amen!

We have 10 days to squeeze in as much as possible, then she is back to Ft. Carson in Colorado!  We got a whole lot of hugging and catching up to do!!!  

Blessings always
